A picture of a woman with jet black hair tied back wearing a purple shirt holding My Ex Is a Vampire Tales of the Vocati Book 1 by M.S.

A picture of wisteria with text that reads My mission was to find a dress that went with the bolero I bought. It wouldn’t be easy given my dress sizes were in the double digits. Under normal circumstances, I would order dresses online and hope for the best. But I wanted to help my family with finding their dresses. Besides that, Angie always felt safe around me. Since she was autistic, I knew how to deal with her quirks. Even if I wouldn’t be able to find my dress, I hoped that I would help Angie find hers.
I ended up finding my dress at Bloomingdales. It was a pale pink sleeveless dress that reminded me of a Grecian tunic or a Regency-style empire-waist dress. The pleats on the dress were vertical and the bolero looked perfect with the dress as a whole, as if I was wearing a short-sleeved spencer.

A black and white picture of a porch swing with text that reads:
“I dunno if my opinion will count for anything.
Personally, I hate the guy. His hair is stupid, all slicked back in that faux
hawk. His forehead is the size of a billboard, and he’s a big bulking–”
“Andy!” Jane squeaked, trying not to laugh.
“The point I’m trying to make is if he really loves you, he’ll be
willing to listen. And I hope it all works out because, you know. We’re
friends. I want you to be happy.”

A picture of campers at a mountain lake surrounded by tall trees with text that reads:
“Are you alright?” Danny asked.
I laughed, “It’s nothing I haven’t dealt with before. But it’s not my obligation to be friends with her. I don’t require my students to all be friends with each other, but if they have to work on a project together, they have to cooperate. Such as in real life, we don’t always have to like who we have to work with, but respect is a necessity.”
“Spoken like a true teacher.”
“You don’t have to act like my knight in shining armor, you know…” I said, blushing. “But it’s nice, nevertheless.”

Janis Ian from Mean Girls with text that reads "How do I even begin to explain Regina George?"

A background of an opal crystal (close up) with text that reads Lenore held an opal crystal in Gabby's hand. It glowed as she activated her fairy magic. All of a sudden, an opalescent aura surrounded Gabby.
“As I thought,” he said. “Your powers are similar to mine. You have
an aura. This kind of energy can be used when fighting.”

A background of a haunted house with bats. Two Filipino-American young adults stand in front of the house. One is a young man with jet black hair wearing glasses and a black jacket.
